ing to Athens Avenue. He stated that in June, 1979, Council
received a petition from the residents in this area concerned
with the increase in through traffic and excess speed traveled

on Park Marina Drive. The petitioners proposed to close Athens
Avenue to through traffic. Council referred the petition to the
Traffic and Parking Commission and the Commission considered it
at regular meetings on August 13 and September 11, 1979.
On September 11, 1979, the Commission voted to recommend to Council
that a three-way stop sign be installed as a deterrent to through // 3

traffic at the intersection of Athens with Paris and Athens with
Olympus. Mr. Arness said that at the staff meeting on September 13 ,
1979 , he recommended that staff give further consideration to this
matter in that staff has consistently and uniformly opposed the
use of stop signs to control speed or to use as a deterrent to
through traffic.
Mr. Arness submitted a ten-year accident summary for this section
of Athens, a ten-year traffic count summary for streets in the
vicinity, two recent speed studies on Athens Avenue, traffic
volumes on other residential streets in the City, and excerpts of
the afore-mentioned Traffic and Parking Commission meetings.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Mr. Arness stated that the
Public Works staff agrees that the proposed three-way stop signs
provide a solution and concurs in the recommendation as a trial
use with the following reservation - that it is a solution to a
particular problem and should not be generally utilized as a speed
control or traffic diverting scheme.
Councilman Fulton asked what other solutions had been considered.
Mr. Arness replied that staff considered closure of the north
end of Athens Avenue; closure of both Rome and Athens; one-way
traffic out of Athens and Rome; placement of a divider or constraint
at the island on London; or, leave the street as it is presently.
Mr. Arness stated that the installation of three-way stop signs at
Athens and Paris and at Athens and Olympus will deter traffic, but
there may be some unhappiness by the people living in the area
having to stop three times within 900 ft. - at South Street, at
London and at Olympus. He pointed out that some residents present
at the Commission meetings were satisfied with the way it presently
is. He noted that the recommendation is a compromise on a trial
basis.
Councilman Fulton questioned how many people were in favor of
closing the north end of Athens Avenue.
Mr. Arness responded that basically most residents were opposed to
such a closure.
Ron Howard who resides at the corner of Athens Avenue and Rome
and circulated the petition, was present at the meeting this
evening. Mayor Demsher asked Mr. Howard if the residents in
the neighborhood would be in agreement with the proposed method
for easing the traffic situation in this area.
{ Mr. Howard responded that if the north end of Athens Avenue is
not closed, then the residents are in agreement with this method.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilwoman Gard
approving the recommendation of the Traffic and Parking Commission
that three-way stop signs be installed at the intersection of
Athens Avenue with Paris Avenue, and at the intersection of Athens
Avenue with Olympus Avenue, and instructing the City Attorney to
prepare the necessary resolution. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes

The following documents are on file in the office of the City
Clerk:
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
f Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Department Memo dated September 27 , 1979
City Clerk Brayton read the letter from Anton Maier, dated
October 1, 1979, submitted to Council this evening offering
a compromise proposal. Said letter is hereby made a part of
these minutes by reference.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
the staff memo to Council dated September 27, 1979 , which
memo is hereby made a part of these minutes by reference.
Mr. Perry advised that Mr. Tony Maier has filed a letter
appealing the unanimous decision of the Planning Commission
on September 11, 1979. The action of the Commission was
to uphold an appeal by various property owners concerning
an action by the Board of Administrative Review (BAR) which
permitted, for a period of time, two overhead doors with
driveways fronting on Oasis Road on a new industrial build-
ing located in the Mountain Lakes Industrial Park.
Mr. Perry said that the Planning Commission' s basic concern
was with the maneuvering of large trucks and trailer rigs on
Oasis Road. The Commission felt that a public street should
not be used for backup movements by large trucks. The issues
the neighboring property owners raised were aesthetics , noise,
doors on Oasis Road, lack of landscaping on Woggon Lane,
traffic movements and the impact of the plant on adjoining
residential areas. Based upon the testimony presented at the
Commission hearing, it was the opinion of the Commission that
the applicant should be required to comply with the originally
approved site plan. This would require relocating both doors
along Oasis Road and landscaping the front of the building.
Mr. Perry noted that Mr. Maier' s compromise proposal set forth
in the Planning Director' s memorandum to Council is no longer
valid as Mr. Maier has clarified and submitted a further com-
promise in his letter dated October 1, 1979 and handed to
Council this evening. The latest proposal includes the follow-
ing:
1. The front overhead door at the west end be moved to the
back of the building in line with the easterly front
door.
2 . Paving and fence modification, which would connect with
the existing yard and allow for a straight forward traffic
flow pattern.
3 . Heighten and widen the west side overhead door to allow
for truck turn around all within the yard and building.
4 . Black top in front of the removed overhead door to be
replaced with additional landscaping.
5. The space where the overhead door is removed will be
replaced with glass plus architectural facia trim with
color contrast.
6 . Plastic slats will be added to the fence along Woggon
Lane and fifty feet on the rear property line.
297
Mr. Perry said it is the feeling of staff that the compromise
as presented is reasonable and resolves the major areas of
concern. It is recommended that the appeal be upheld and the
permit granted subject to the items included in Mr. Maier ' s
compromise proposal, with the following modifications listed
below and as shown on the map attached to the staff memo:
1. Landscaping to be installed in front of the chain link
fence between Woggon Lane and the westerly driveway.
2. Cedar slats to be used in lieu of plastic slats.
Mr.Perry stated that, at this point, Council has three alter-
natives:
l._ Uphold Mr. Maier' s appeal and accept the compromise offer.
2. Deny the appeal and uphold the action of the Commission
requiring both doors to be relocated.
3. Continue the item for further consideration.
The following persons spoke with respect to the issue.
Garth Sanders, 4016 Oasis Road, said that the building con-
structed by Tony Maier is not a good neighbor. He pointed
out that it is important to the City what happens here because
the surrounding area will eventually be annexed to the City.
He said that as the properties become undesirable for single-
family dwellings, they will be sold and the neighborhood would
go industrial. Mr. Sanders said he felt that there should be
a less obtrusive development on this corner. He objects to the
two doors on Oasis Road noting that they will be a traffic
hazard and traffic is increasing on this roadway. Mr. Sanders
also pointed out that the City' s Negative Declaration on this
project states that the plant will produce no more than three
decibels of noise, no glare, no fumes and no pollution. He
said that steel fabricating plants use various processes such
as hydrostatic testing, x-ray painting, and lighting. He
questioned what type of a scrutinizing agency the City has .
Mr. Sanders said he feels Mr. Maier should place his incoming
freight and doors on his own property on the east side of the
building and objects to the large door on the west side of the
building.
Ed Devan, 2050 Daut Road, objects to the placement of the
structure at the corner of the industrial park noting that it
should have been located near the railroad spur. He said no
provision has been made for a 30 ft. buffer strip on Oasis
Road to provide for noise control for the adjacent residential
area. He further stated that Mr. Maier has made no provision
for street dedication for the expansion of Woggon Lane. He
noted that his proposed landscaping is presently located where
the center line of Woggon Lane will be with no provision for a
111 buffer zone. He also objects to the trucks using Oasis Road
for egress and ingress noting that Mr. Maier should allow for
the trucks to move on his property to the east towards Beltline
Road.
Mayor Demsher asked Mr. Perry if Oasis Road is scheduled to
be developed into four lanes.
Mr. Perry replied in the affirmative.
29.8
Lorraine Sanders, 4016 Oasis Road, voiced objection to the
building and suggested that Council Members take a look at
the monstrosity.
All Council Members indicated they had seen the building.
Gary Borchard, Attorney, on behalf of Mr. Maier, said that
in reference to the compromise proposal, the reason for
the use of plastic slats in the chain link fence is to give
additional coverage that wouldn' t be gained when using cedar
slats which have to be split.
City Attorney Murphy said that staff recommends cedar slats
over plastic slats in order to reduce the noise problem to
the residents on Woggon Lane.
Mr. Perry noted that reflection off of the plastic is more
severe.
Mr. Murphy asked if the use of cedar slats was a critical
issue for Mr. Maier. Mr. Borchard replied in the negative.
Mr. Borchard further stated that Mr. Maier and the City have
a mutual problem in that the building is complete and it
has no power. He said that the residents of the area would
prefer that the building not be there at all; however, there
are basic issues which need to be considered. He said that
the original site plan was submitted which did not show the
location of doors and fences, etc. The construction plans
which were detailed and submitted were the ones that were
used for the inspection. He said that we now have a problem
and he feels that the compromise offered by Mr. Maier solves
the basic problems by not backing out on to Oasis Road,
eliminating the front door and putting in additional landscaping.
He said that the compromise will at least allow Mr. Maier to
use the building. He noted that City staff must assume part
of the responsibility for the design of the building. Mr.
Bochard said it appears that Mr. Maier has met the issue more
than half way- and would hope the City meets him the other half.
Walter A. Taylor, 1850 Bow Lane, said that Mr. Borchard stated
that the residents in the area opposed the building in the
industrial park. He said that they don' t oppose the building,
but do oppose the way it was constructed. He questioned the
two large doors on Oasis Road and said that they should have
been on the Beltline Road side to the east.
Darrel Gouldsmith who has resided at 4091 Oasis Road since
February, 1962 , said that there is a 33 ft. easement on his
property which comprises Woggon Lane, which is a private road
and does not belong to Mr. Maier. He said that the residents
have improved the lane. Mr. Gouldsmith read portions of
Ordinance No. 1346 pointing out that Mr. Maier has not complied
with Article 6 pertaining to storage of materials, Article 7
requiring loading areas to be adequately screened, and Article 8
providing for a 25 ft. buffer strip with landscaping along
Woggon Lane to provide a visual barrier. He stated that Mr.
Maier has only 10-15 ft. left on this lane. Mr. Gouldsmith
stated that Woggon Lane is a private easement and Mr. Maier' s
contractors and subcontractors have repeatedly used it to
bring in materials, but Mr. Maier has never put anything into
its upkeep. He said that several oak trees were torn out by
a road grader. He feels his property is being devalued.
299
He objects to the widening of the door on the west side noting
that the original plans do not even show a door at this location.
He feels the doors should be situated where they won' t bother
the residents.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked about the ownership of Woggon Lane.
Public Works Director Arness replied that he thought it was a
private road.
Ellyn Pelligrini, 5001 Oasis Road, is opposed to the expanded
fence area as she gets the full benefit of looking at all of
it. She said the door on the west and the two doors fronting
on Oasis Road face her residence. She feels better plans could
have been made for the placement of the doors noting that
there were no doors shown on the first site plan; therefore,
feels this is a clandestine effort on Mr. Maier' s behalf against
the residents. She questioned the three decibels of sound
abutting a residential area, the lack of a greenbelt area,
and objects to the view she gets of the fence. She said her
house is up for sale and she hasn' t had one prospective buyer.
Mary Gouldsmith, 4091 Oasis Road, said she had attended both
the April 11 and 18 BAR meetings. She said that the original
proposed plan was something she felt the residents in the
area could live with; that she was also assured that the trucks
would not use Woggon Lane, and that there would be a greenbelt
area.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked about the greenbelt area on
Woggon Lane.
111 Mr. Perry responded that the site plan was approved subject to
the condition that five gallon Leyland Cypress be planted
and maintained along the entire west property line adjacent
to Woggon Lane; and that irrigation be provided to all land-
scaping.
The audience responded that the irrigation system has not
been installed.
Kathleen Village, 1681 Woggon Lane, said she is home during
the day and can hear the paging system from the Coca Cola
Plant and the lights that are left on all night shine into
her windows. Mrs. Village questioned why Mr. Maier couldn' t
utilize the undeveloped area to the east for a driveway onto
Beltline Road and build his doors there. She said his
compromise will still mean that she will be faced with the
activity on Woggon Lane and have to look at the gestapo black
top area.
Mr. Devan said that it appears that the street will be cut
along Mr. Maier' s plantings and no allowance has been made
for the street.
Virgil Covington, Economic Development Corporation, said that
a formal survey was done on Woggon Lane by CH2M Hill. The
50 ft. easement is on the property purchased by the Corpo-
ration.
Greg Butler, 1720 Woggon Lane, said he bought a 33 ft.
easement for that road, pays taxes on it and owns it. He
said that the planting wells have been dug on his property.
- J
300
He feels the greenbelt area is necessary and that the
trucks should be rerouted into the Industrial Park from
Beltline Road.
Mr. Borchard responded that the traveled portion of
Woggon Lane to the northwest is on Mr. Maier' s property.
Garth Sanders advised that the Bureau of Land Management
laid out 33 ft. easements on each parcel in grid fashion
to make provision for roads.
Councilwoman Gard asked Mr. Borchard if it was pointed out
to the Building Department that the second set of plans
differed from the original set.
Mr. Borchard responded in the negative, noting that they were
submitted in the usual fashion.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote:
Unanimous Ayes with Councilman Pugh abstaining
At this point in the meeting, Mayor Demsher declared a three-
minute recess.
Mayor Demsher said there appears to be some confusion as to
where the doors were to be located, which apparently was the
result of no cross checking of the site plan with the building
plans .
Mrs. Gard noted that at the April 18 BAR meeting, one driveway
was discussed which would intersect Oasis Road at right angles
and all of the conditions use the terminology "the driveway" .
No mention is made of driveways, plural.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if BAR assumed where the doors
would be. Mr. Perry responded that it was apparently assumed
there would be one door on the west.
City Attorney Murphy said it is apparent that the site plan
is inadequate.
Mrs. Gard said the doors are where the plans show the land-
scaping and fencing are to be located. She said she assumed
the doors would be placed on the south and east sides of the
building.
In response to an inquiry as to whether the compromise meets
the covenants of the Industrial Park, Mr. Perry responded in
the affirmative.
City Attorney Murphy said any violation of Ordinance No. 1346 ,
which pertains to requirements for a M-2-F Industrial District,
must be enforced.
Mrs. Gard questioned if this building comforms to this
ordinance.
Mr. Perry read the requirements stipulated in Ordinance
No. 1346.
Mr. Murphy said that this is City law and that the require-
ment for the 25 ft. buffer zone will have to be complied
with. He continued that a lot of the testimony given this
301
evening is irrelevant to the issue. He said the discussion
should center around appeal from a situation that has been
caused by the applicant and the City; the issue is not whether
the site plan has sufficient detail, or that the City should
impose what it assumes the site plan represents and insist
that Mr. Maier comply with it in all respects when he has spent
thousands of dollars contrary to the plan. Mr. Murphy feels
, what must be determined is whether to abide by the original
site plan submitted or agree to the compromise offered by
Mr. Maier. He stated that it has been said without diplomacy,
but very candidly, that the City is to blame for the position
, he is in. Mr. Murphy said that Mr. Maier should bear the
blame for inflaming the residents by repeated use of the
private roadway by the contractors. He noted that the City
received calls daily objecting to this situation. He said
the facts are before Council; building permits and encroach-
ment permits were issued and quite an expenditure made by
the applicant before it was determined that anything was
amiss.
Mr. Murphy said that Council could impose additional compro-
mises; however, he feels the City will be involved in various
forms of litigation if an attempt is made to return to an
assumed "base one. " Mr. Murphy said Mr. Maier cannot right-
fully be requested to redesign the building at this time,
but he can be compelled to landscape it to Council ' s satis-
faction. He said that Mr. Maier recognizes his obligation
and has tried to meet it with the compromise.
Mayor Demsher asked if there are other industries in the
Park that have access off Oasis or Caterpillar Roads, or
Ido they essentially use their own property.
Mr. Perry said he recalls one on Caterpillar Road.
' MOTION: Made by Councilman -Fulton, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick upholding Mr. Maier' s appeal and accepting the
compromise offer as hereinbefore set forth, with the modifi-
cations recommended by staff.

the entire public hearing.

Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission Recommendation dated 9/26/79
The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests have
been received, and the Mayor ascertained that there were no
protests from the floor.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
the staff memo to Council dated September 26 , 1979. He
stated that the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing
on August 28, 1979, to consider rezoning property located on
the north side of Rosaline Avenue north of the Mercy Hospital /4
office complex. This property is part of a larger parcel
recently rezoned by the City. The location was shown on the
Vu Graph. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the
Commission recommended the property be rezoned from "U-F"
Unclassified to "CO-B10-F" . Mr.. Perry stated that approval
of the rezoning will allow the owner to utilize the entire
parcel for an office development. It was the opinion of the
Commission that the open space concept in the canyon, as shown
on the adopted General Plan, was adequately provided for by
the existing "U-F" zone located on the south side of the
existing single family parcels and that the application was
consistent with the General Plan.
It is the recommendation of the Commission that, after the
close of the public hearing, the negative declaration be
ratified, the rezoning approved, and the prepared ordinance
offered for first reading.

PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of Lot Split Application LS-71-79 by
Francis Yanni
The hour of 7: 30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Demsher opened
the Public Hearing on the Appeal of Lot Split Application
LS-71-79 by Francis Yanni.
The following documents are on file in the office of the
City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Department Memo dated September 27, 1979
The City Clerk advised Council that no written protests
have been received.
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed
the staff memo to Council dated September 27, 1979 . He
stated that the Planning Commission considered the appli-
cation of Francis Yanni at its meeting on August 14 , 1979 .
After considering the testimony from staff, the applicant' s
engineer, and interested neighbors, the Commission voted
unanimously to deny the lot split. The applicant has appealed
that decision.
Mr. Perry said that the subject property consists of 1. 2
acres and is located on the west side of Hillcrest Street
north of Grandview Avenue. The area was shown on the Vu
Graph. Topographical maps were submitted to Council depicting
the severe slope of the property which ranges from 34- to
40-percent. Mr. Perry said the parcel has 240 feet of
frontage on Hillcrest and is large enough to subdivide were
it not for the extreme slopes. The subdivision regulations
covering hillside development set forth minimum standards
for parcels. A type IV parcel, which covers lots of between
30- to 40-percent slope, require a minimum of 150 feet of
frontage. This parcel does not have sufficient frontage to
be subdivided into two lots. In addition, Mr: Perry said the
neighbors are extremely concerned with development of this
steep canyon area. Copies of letters and a petition from
305
concerned citizens submitted to the Planning Commission were
given to Council. It is the staff recommendation that the
appeal be denied and the action of the Planning Commission
upheld.
William J. Braun, Attorney, representing Dr. & Mrs. Francis
Yanni, said he had Doss Engineering take bearings of the
property and that he takes issue with the 30-40% slope
referred to in the Planning Department report. Mr. Braun
said that, after discussing the issue with Dr. Yanni, he
believes with proper engineering, houses can be built here
without falling into the canyon. Similar lots have been used
in the San Francisco area. Mr. Braun recommends returning
the request to BAR and proposing a different lot split. Mr.
Braun said that after looking at the review done by Mr. Doss,
perhaps some sort of fill could be used and two 120 ft. lots
or four 60 ft. lots be developed. He said the fill and com-
paction would be done at the expense of the applicant. Mr.
Braun requested that the appeal be continued for 30 days.
City Attorney Murphy asked if Mr. Braun would waive any time
limits that may be imposed. He said that the ordinance govern-
ing appeals dictates time limitations for ruling on appeals .
After consulting with Dr. Yanni, Mr. Braun waived the time
limits pertaining to the appeal only and no other rights or
privileges.
Rufus Knapp, 3425 Hillcrest, said he has resided here for 16
years and objects to such development in this steep canyon
area. He said that the street is only 28 ft. wide. The
neighbors have attended the BAR and Planning Commission
meetings regarding this matter and objected to this lot
split and again are requesting that Dr. Yanni ' s appeal be
denied.
Fred Burdett, 3345 Hillcrest, said he objects to anyone filling
in the gorge as it would cause dust and ruin the present roadway.
Mrs. Burdett, 3345 Hillcrest, said that nine neighboring resi-
dents are in attendance this evening and all object to this
lot split.
Barbara Williams, 3340 Summit, said she enjoys her backyard
and objects to construction of a house on stilts there.
Mr. Braun said the arguments being presented were emotional
and pertained to use of a public street. He said that progress
cannot be stopped and that it is ludicrous to think that a man
buys a piece of property and then is required to abandon its
development.
Mr. Knapp said he was serious in suggesting that Dr. Yanni
use the area as a bird sanctuary. He said the rights of the
neighbors will be jeopardized if this lot split is approved.
Councilman Fulton asked if Dr. Yanni can construct a single
residence on the present parcel to which Mr. Perry replied in
the affirmative.
Councilwoman Gard noted that such construction would require
stilts and a decreased setback.
Councilman Kirkpatrick asked if another application would
have to be filed if the hearing were continued.
306
Mr. Perry said that Dr. Yanni has applied to BAR for a lot
split into four parcels and subsequently for a lot split
into three parcels. Both applications were denied. This
recent application for a split into two parcels was denied
by the Planning Commission.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Kirkpatrick, seconded by Councilman
Fulton that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
MOTION: Made by Councilwoman Gard, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick upholding the action of the Planning Commission
and denying the appeal. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal of Use Permit UP-221-79
Mayor Demsher called upon the Planning and Community Develop-
ment Director to review this item.
Mr. Perry reviewed the staff memo dated September 28 , 1979 ,
stating that the Planning Commission considered Use Permit
Application UP-221-79 submitted by Robert Medley at its
regular meeting on August 14, 1979. The property is located
between Layton Road and Second Street, east of Bechelli Lane
and was shown on the Vu Graph. Mr. Perry said the appellants
noted that they did not receive notice of the Planning Com-
mission meeting. Although residents were notified of the
initial BAR meeting, staff can find no evidence that notices
were mailed prior to the Planning Commission meeting on this
issue. Mr. Perry said that based upon a recent Supreme Court
decision (Horn vs. Ventura County) , the lack of notification
invalidates the action taken by the Commission. It is recom-
mended that this hearing be cancelled and the use permit be
referred back to BAR for renotification and consideration.
Council Member Gard indicated she felt the matter should be
referred back to the Planning Commission rather than to BAR.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilman
Kirkpatrick approving the aforestated recommendation of
staff.
